Guided Love Sale blitz

Sam Jacobs has been best friends with Camaron Willis since
the second grade. Ever since the day they met her heart belonged to
him.

Now graduating from college Sam moves across the country to
start their life together.

They have been planning this for years, she will help him
with his tattoo business while writing her first novel. Together, they will
make their dreams come true.

Life and people change, Sam finds herself discovering that
the one you thought you always wanted may not be the one you
need.

Sometimes life guides you to places you always should have
been.

“Hey, Samantha, where is the prick?” I stand on top of the
counter covered in paint. It’s in my hair and down my shirt, shorts and legs,
something Axel finds to be quite funny by the look on his face. “He
went out with the guys for a beer. I thought you’d be there with
him.” I can see a slight hesitation in his response. “Damn, yeah, I
forgot that they were meeting tonight. You’re here
alone and left the door unlocked? You need to make sure you lock that, even
when you are home you don’t want just anyone walking in.” I shake my
head and look back at the wall. “Yeah, Axel, I wouldn’t want just anyone
walking into my apartment.” I am expecting him to just go and meet up
with the pricks but to my surprise, he sits down at the table. “Need any
help?” I turn around again and see him already pulling his tee over
his head. “Why are you taking your shirt off, Axel?” He looks up at
me with these mesmerizing brown eyes and in all seriousness he replies, “This
is my favorite shirt.” Like that should be a logical reason for why he is
taking it off. “Well, Axel, if it’s your favorite shirt don’t you
think you should keep it on?” He shakes his head like my question isn’t
logical. “Babe, I am not going to get paint on this shirt. I'm here
so I’m going to help you.” I can’t help but smile. I really do
appreciate the fact that he is willing to help and that he feels comfortable
enough with me to want to stay. I motion to the extra brush and pail and he
heads over and picks it up. Axel’s back is to me and I never realized how many
tattoos he has. He is covered. Truly, his body is a canvas of art—across his
shoulder blades he has Strength in big bold lettering. Underneath that, he has
an oak tree with the roots leading down to his belt. The detail of the tree is
magnificent, the bark and the branches along with the leaves are so realistic
it truly takes my breath away. The tree looks to have something engraved into
it, but I can’t see the names this far away. “Like what you see?” I
shake my head and realize that I was caught staring at his back and the
paintbrush I am holding is dripping down my arm as well as on the covered
floor. I feel myself turn red. “No. sorry, I mean yes . . . grrrr! I
was just admiring your tattoos.” Once again, Axel is laughing at me
and shaking his head. “Red looks good on you, Samantha.”

I was born and raised in Northeastern, Pennsylvania where I
still live today with my husband and three beautiful children. Like everyone, I
have had my ups and downs and have seen my life take a complete change.
Previously, I was a working mom putting in 60 hours a week as a Financial
Advisor but with the sudden loss of my mom who was my best friend I found
myself giving up the suits and meetings for jeans and snack time. I have always
had the passion for reading and found an escape through the words of all the
talented authors I have read. My passion allowed me the opportunity to blog and
to get a wonderful insight into the indie world. I have enormous pride and stay
true to the characters and their stories as they reveal themselves to me. I am
so excited to have this opportunity to share my stories and hope you love them
as much as I do.
